C22 in Racine harbor. Anyone here?

We saw a Chrysler 22 coming out of Racine harbor Sunday about 2pm as we were headed in. Was it anyone here? Unfortunately with all the holiday weekend boat traffic it wasn't prudent to do any more than wave.

We had a great weekend of light air sailing, although we're still trying to figure out how biting flies can be 2 miles from shore!

Tom...I remember seeing a Racine C22 in the membership roster a while back...don't have time to search for him now though.

As far as biting flies go...I hear horror stories from Lake Michigan fishermen that I have met over the years...sometimes they are so thick out there that you have to cover your mouth with a cloth so you don't inhale them.

I think that a mosquito head net that fits over your hat would be prudent to have along...available at sporting goods stores...we use them when camping while out on hikes.

Tom
Just joking as far as the flies, but perhaps two miles out is where the food source is? Relatively slow moving sailboats full of blood donors... welling or not.

Wish it was my boat. Stop by Common Grounds next time you find yourself in the Kenosha harbor. I really miss Wisconsin.

Terrence, I think you're on to something.
